I use Peaks Ecosoya Advanced, and I use the 8 oz tins which are 3.13 inches wide and 2 inches tall. Well, I followed the Peaks conversion chart for correct cotton core wicks for that tin size... I started conservatively with the C70, which was much too small. So I've gone up to the C75.... which seems to still be too small! I'm confused, because these are supposed to work up until 3.5 inches wide. But, alas, I can't get my burn pool to get more than 1/2 inch to the edges. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation? I might go up to c85... the next size up.... but that seems like such a leap. Maybe I'm doing something else wrong? Any help or opinions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the advice! I'm actually up in Fargo, ND!

Longtime lurker, first time poster here I have a question that is stumping me.... I have been using Peaks for all my supplies. I use their Ecosoya Advanced wax, and their C-70 wicks for my 8 oz tin candles. However, when I burn them, the melt pool doesn't reach the edges--- there is still about 1/3 inch all around. I tried double wicking, but that was too hot and the melt pool reached the edges but it was nearly 1/2 inch deep and the wicks "floated"- so that was a big problem. I want to try the C-75 now. Does anyone use that in their 8 oz tins? Would that maybe fix this? Thanks in advance!
